In order to find out hat 15 is 5% of what number, Lets assume that the number is x. Therefore, we form an equation: 15=5% of x 15=(5/100) *x Taking 5/100 on the other side: 15*100/5=x or, x=15*100/5 x= 1500/5 x= 300 Therefore, we find out that x is equal to 300, which means that 15 is 5 percent of 300.
